Program Overview
We believe that if we place at-risk youth with the right adults early and often and intentionally nurture the missing pieces to adulthood that many at-risk youth lack (foundational character traits, life skills, academic achievement, emotional and spiritual development), the youth will be more likely to make successful transitions into middle school, high school and eventually adulthood.
